Night falls.
Chen Tang finally carried the sleeping Li Junqing on his back, walked out of the Three Thousand Snow Mountains, and climbed over several mountains before arriving at the official road.
There was silence.
Chen Tang looked around to determine the location.
When the two were chatting just now, Li Junqing revealed that he was from Wu'an County.
But this place is more than two hundred miles away from Wu'an County. It is too tiring to carry her all the way there, and Chen Tang doesn't know where she lives.
This place is closer to Changze County and can be reached within a few miles.
Chen Tang planned to take her home to settle down first, and when Li Junqing woke up tomorrow, he would find a caravan heading to Wu'an County and let her go back with her.
He stayed in the snow-capped mountains for a month, and he estimated that the fat old man and the beautiful woman should have left long ago.
After Li Junqing fell asleep, he calmed down and stopped moving.
Chen Tang also breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards Changze County with Li Junqing on his back.
Not far away, there was a sudden rush of horse hooves behind him.
It is normal to see fast horses galloping on the official road.
However, it was freezing cold and he was still riding outside in the middle of the night, so he probably had something important to do.
Chen Tang looked back and ignored him. He just stepped out of the way and continued walking along the official road.
As the man and horse came closer, their speed gradually slowed down.
Chen Tang frowned slightly and looked sideways.
I saw that the man on the horse was wearing a brocade cotton robe, a long sword slung across his waist, his hair tied and wearing a crown, his face was white and beardless, his features were handsome, he was about thirty years old, and he looked like a scribe.
While Chen Tang was sizing up the other party, the white-faced scribe was also observing Chen Tang, his eyes still lingering on Li Junqing for a moment.
"What do you call me little brother? Where are you from?"
The white-faced scribe rode forward, stopped Chen Tang, held his hands slightly on the horse, and asked with a smile.
"My name is Su Mo."
Chen Tang made up his name casually and asked: "Who are you, sir? Why are you blocking the road?"
Seeing Chen Tang's reaction, the white-faced scribe seemed to really not recognize him, and thought to himself: "You might as well give him a try."
"hehe."
The white-faced scribe chuckled lightly and said, "Let me get straight to the point. I want to give you a price for the woman behind you."
Chen Tang raised his eyebrows slightly.
These people are really haunted.
However, this person is a little different from Boyan's group, and they take action before they come up.
Chen Tang said: "Ten thousand taels."
"What?"
The white-faced scribe was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Your Excellency, you are really a lion. What woman is worth ten thousand taels!"
Chen Tang said: "She is worth it."
The white-faced scribe pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that your employer and I should be from the same family, and we can be considered fellow travelers."
Chen Tang's heart moved and he asked: "That's not necessarily true. Who is your employer?"
"Of course it's the He family."
The white-faced scribe paused for a moment and then said with a smile.
He family?
Have not heard.
Of course Chen Tang didn't want to get involved in these things.
However, he had promised to escort Li Junqing down the mountain, so he had to protect her.
Chen Tang said: "I was about to send someone to the He family, but you were late."
"Yeah?"
The white-faced scribe smiled half-heartedly and said, "The He family is in Wu'an County, and the direction you are going to is Changze County."
When Chen Tang heard this, he knew he couldn't hide it.
There is no point in pretending any longer.
It was really inconvenient for him to carry someone on his back and fight with them.
Moreover, he didn't know what kind of cultivation this white-faced scribe was, and he didn't know what he was doing.
After all, this is not a fairy world, and there is no system to help. It is impossible to detect the opponent's realm with just one glance.
In this world, if you want to judge a person's cultivation level, you can only rely on the person's previous reputation, revealed cultivation level, or rely on your own experience and eyesight.
Or have a real fight with it.
For example, Li Junqing judged that Chen Tang's cultivation level was probably at the ninth level by observing the fight between Chen Tang and Boyan.
It was the first time that Chen Tang and the white-faced scribe met each other, and they had never heard of each other's name.
He couldn't even see the other party's cultivation level.
Even he is a little unclear about his own cultivation.
After all this calculation, there is only one plan at the moment.
The best option is to leave!
Even if you have to leave, you have to find the best escape route.
Along the official road, no matter how fast he ran, he could not run faster than other people's horses.
What's more, he was carrying someone on his back.
After thinking about this, Chen Tang suddenly looked behind the white-faced scribe, with surprise on his face, and said loudly: "Brother He, you are here!"
"Um?"
The white-faced scribe's heart sank, he pulled out the sword from his waist and looked back.
There is no one behind him, so there is no one to congratulate him.
The white-faced scribe turned around and saw that Chen Tang had jumped down the official road with someone on his back and fled towards the snow-capped mountains and forests!
The white-faced scribe laughed dumbly.
He had been quick-witted and resourceful since he was a child, and he had made a name for himself in Wu'an County early on. Unexpectedly, he was deceived by a young man today.
"Where to escape!"
The white-faced scribe shouted, slapped his mount with the palm of his hand, leaped into the air, swept several feet away, and pursued Chen Tang in the direction of Chen Tang with his graceful movement.
Chen Tang looked back and saw the handsome figure of the white-faced scribe holding a long sword and his clothes flowing.
Is this Qinggong?
To be honest, he's quite handsome...
Moreover, it is indeed faster than him!
Originally, Chen Tang wanted to take advantage of the terrain in the snow to escape to Sanqian Snow Ridge, but before he could run far, he was overtaken by the white-faced scribe.
Buzz!
The sound of sword chanting sounded behind him, and it was so cold!
The long sword went straight towards Li Jun and stabbed lightly, as if it was going to pierce through the two of them and kill them all!
Chen Tang was shocked and quickly jumped forward. At the same time, he put down Li Junqing behind him, hugged him to his chest, and continued to run forward.
Seeing this scene, the white-faced scribe felt relieved.
With a smile on his face, he continued to chase.
Not long after, he caught up with Chen Tang again.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Chen Tang said loudly: "Stop, I will put him down and fight with you!"
"OK."
The white-faced scribe really stopped.
Chen Tang put Li Junqing aside, took a deep breath, and prepared to find an opportunity to use the power of the divine light to see if he could kill him!
The strength of this white-faced scribe was far above him.
I'm afraid even the eighth grade can't stop it.
Even if he uses the power of divine illumination, Chen Tang is not sure.
The two faced off for a moment, then suddenly took action!
However, Chen Tang rushed towards the white-faced scribe, but the white-faced scribe rushed towards Li Junqing next to him, with a sharp sword light.
The sword was extremely fast and slashed towards Li Junqing's throat!
"Thief, so despicable!"
When Chen Tang saw this scene, he couldn't help but roared, jumped up, and instantly entered the state of divine illumination, and the spiritual platform was empty!
Everything around him appeared extremely clear, and the sword of the white-faced scribe seemed to have slowed down!
Chen Tang threw himself on Li Junqing and rolled on the snow to avoid the white-faced scribe's sword.
"Huh?"
The white-faced scribe let out a sigh of surprise.
In fact, just when Chen Tang pounced on Li Junqing, he had already stopped.
But Chen Tang's movements suddenly became much faster just now. Even if he didn't hold back, he probably wouldn't be able to hurt this person.
